It’s official since the end of Côte d’Ivoire – Brazil, France will face Iran then Côte d’Ivoire in classification matches 17-32!
Almost too lazy to write these lines, but that’s how it is: the France team will face Iran and Côte d’Ivoire in the ranking matches from 17th to 32nd place. If Iran has not yet played its third match against Spain, Hamed Haddadi and his teammates are already certain of not succeeding in hanging on to the second group stage. Brazil (3-0) doubted against Ivory Coast, but ended up winning 89 to 77, thus winning their ticket for the round following.
As a result, in order, Iran (0-2) and Côte d’Ivoire (1-2) are the last two opponents of the France team in this 2023 World Cup. Lebanon – that the France will not face – complete this chocolate group. We almost want to say « attention »because the Ivory Coast did not go far from the exploit against Brazil, and that it is all the same classified 43e au ranking FIBA. But where the Blues are in “danger” is that the Elephants of Côte d’Ivoire are playing big: already having a victory in their luggage, Vafessa Fofana and his friends hope to end this World Cup as the best African team. . For what ? Because a qualification for Paris 2024 is at stake. It will be a strong fight with Cape Verde. As for Iran, the selection sits in the 22e position du ranking FIBA. To tell the truth, she is still surfing on her excellent results obtained in the Asian Championship, under the freshest (and distant) years of the giant Hamed Haddadi. He is still 2m18 tall, but his movements are hampered by the bark and moss that have – since – grown between his joints. Now, if the France team shows up without a pivot…
